Vehicle Description
There was no better way to make the personal luxury statement in
1972 than with the Ford Thunderbird. This was the last of the large
boulevard cruisers, and today this is celebrated with an
exceptionally preserved example. So look over all the details -
from the big block 429 V8 to the luxurious A/C interior - and soon
you'll understand why this is one of the best values in
survivor-style classics going.
This was the first year for the sixth-generation T-Bird. It was the
only time we got to see the coupe as the designers fully intended
it with bumpers that hug the form as an integral part of the design
(federals would dictate changes to the look in '73.) So not only is
it great to have these chrome kings, but also they look so
distinctive against the yellow paint that it will be easy to point
them out to everyone. And speaking of the color, this is probably
the most vivid choice you could get from Ford that year, and it
looks to have been resprayed later in life to retain that vibrant
presence. The brown vinyl roof complements this nicely, and the
landau bars on the sides pay tribute to previous generations. And
as you look over this whole coupe, you're going to love the
original details, including the factory wheel covers, and the
taillight panel that takes up the whole rear.
Inside it's highly original, nicely preserved, and absolutely
loaded. The carpets, door panels, and headliner are all in a nice
ginger tan. And the leather seats have a fantastic button-top
presentation. This was closely related to the Lincoln Mark IV, and
so that means a big luxury coupe with plenty of room for family and
friends. But as Ford's personal luxury coupe, this one is also very
driver-oriented. The fold-down armrest gives you an individual
level of comfort. The dash warps around the driver and makes it an
easy reach to handy factory features like the AM/FM stereo and
cruise control. The power windows mean you never have to leave your
seat to roll down all the windows, and t's easy to show off the
hardtop profile even in the summertime because the factory air
conditioning is blowing nice and cold.
Another reason why the '72 T-Bird is so important is because it was
one of only two years you could get the mighty 429 V8 under the
hood. The was a nice investment here, but it was also about keeping
it stock. That's why the blue block, valve covers, and air topper
all radiate in blue. And not only did they get the look correct,
right down to the decals, but also functional pieces were done with
a newer distributor, belts, hood lining, and more. The big block
fires up nicely as it inhales deeply with a four-barrel carburetor.
The three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power
brakes with discs up front make this a true easy cruiser.
Bold colors, big block, and luxury features all come together on an
important year T-Bird. So at a price like this, you know you need
to get your hands on it right now. Call today!!!
